Just bringing this back up top - what a brilliant idea! And how about lobbying organisations like the NSPCC (National Society for the Protection of Children) and local social services groups who are concerned with the prevention of child cruelty and abuse, they would be interested in this.

So Who's Coming To My Barbie This Year?
by Englishman inok all you lucky people, this is the big one!.
every july, around about the time of my birthday, her ladyship and myself host the barbie to end all barbies.
fun, frolics and fizz are the order of the day, this is the social event, places are more in demand than tickets to watch england play (that's artistic licence btw), even dub in the pub turned up last year.. originally started 10 years ago to get the local pubs regulars together, i usually invite about 40 from the pub, about 15 little & big hooper's, and i am now throwing open an invitation for about 15 - 20 posters from this site to join in the fun.. the event will, weather permitting, take place on sunday july 21. meet at the waverley pub, severn road, weston - super - mare between 12noon and 3pm.

Quick question - are kids welcome or are you trying to keep this adults only? (For the barbie, not the pub obviously.... ) I know a few of us have got offspring and wondered if the invitation was extended to them too or whether babysitters need to found (or simply leave them tied up and gagged in a dark cupboard at home... only joking!)

mmm, Sunday 21st July..... (refers to calendar....)
Guess what we are doing that weekend... no, not a district convention - we are moving house to be not a million miles from you. We will have to see how we get on with our furniture removals before we accept your kind invitation - we've got like 3 zillion boxes to sort out and find room for and beds to put together and a multitude of unforeseen problems to deal with like not being able to get the 3 pce suite through the front door etc..... and whats the betting our neighbours either side are JWs who are 'SO pleased to meet you, you must pop in for a cup of tea and a copy of our latest magazines....', that would just be our luck!!!!!

guardian newspaper (re.dateline)

Thank you Blackcat for posting this - and thanks to Stephen Bates, good to see the information finally hitting the British press, we seem to be slightly sheltered from the fallout of Dateline over here, I suspect the average British JW would see it as a purely American problem - 'not in our back yard' sort of thing.
Hopefully this will encourage a bit more interest over here in the press and it will be brought to a wider audience which should make their door to door ministry somewhat more awkward.....

DEAR WTS, I love your new director.......
by deddaisy inanother example of gross hypocrisy - do they honestly think that these type of things will never be discovered?
unbelievable.
i suppose their excuse is that the shares were donated as gifts and through wills etc, yet surely they should not accept them if they are not appropriate to the teachings of the organisation.

If they stood by their beliefs and teachings these shares should not be owned, not even accepted as gifts. All about money as usual I suppose. As ever. $$$$$$$$$

UK posters - pedophile documentary tonight
by home_and_dry inthis isn't in any way jw related, but will anyone be watching 'the hunt for britains pedophiles' which starts tonight?
from what i have heard about it, it supposed to be extremly shocking and disturbing, as the bbc got to shadow the scotland yard pedophile unit for two years and this documentary is the end result.
it is supposed to be no holds barred and designed to shock, but in an effort to make more people aware of how huge the issue is here in the uk.

I too watched the programme last week and plan to watch the next hideous episode tomorrow night - it really made my blood run cold through my veins but felt it was important to watch it to realise the true extent of paedophilia in this country and how they are caught and controlled - I use the word 'controlled' very loosely as it hardly seems to apply in most of the cases featured so far.
I believe that tomorrow nights programme features a paedophile who is 'very involved in his local church' which should prove interesting, using religion as a front to hide the disgusting practices that these men, and women, are involved in - and I know we are all so aware of this in the JWs. It will be interesting to see how his church deals with the allegations.
As a final point, I am amazed by the strength of the officers who deal with this area of crime, I admire the courage that they show in dealing with such harrowing pictures, videos and voice recordings and find it hard to imagine how they can control their emotions when dealing with paedophiles when the natural reaction of most people would be to beat the hell out of them.

Funny Question To Raise A Laugh & Spirits ....
by invisible ingod, he perplexes me.
sometimes i want to give him a clip around the ear, other times i feel sorry for him, maybe he too gets lonely at times, who knows.. anyway, i got to thinking sometimes, being made in the image of god an all that, that the human body ain't half a weird and wonderful machine.
now, what blueprint did god use for the creation and clay mould of our physical form?.

First of all I would urge you to keep those poor kids away from the Kingdom Hall, immediately. Be firm and just protect those kids from all that being a JW entails.
How should I/ can I show support to my wife as she does this.
Support from you will be seen as an acceptance of her desire to be a JW and take the children into it as well. Do you really want to support her in this? I suggest you take a firm hand and present real evidence into the falseness of the organisation, the problems that they create and the deception that they promote. Try not to bombard her with too much information at once though, just little things to get her thinking.
